After receiving the redemption notice, the three families of Cheng, Shen and Hang became ants on a hot pot. A photo and a letter clearly pointed out that their city lord/family head/elder failed to seize the treasure and was captured, and they must be rescued.
, you have to pay compensation.
Half-Step Magic Power is a city. The loss of one of the pillars of a family is a big deal.
Ning Yuecheng couldn't sit still. Hearing the name of the city, he knew that Cheng Ningyue was the founder of this city. The city lord's palace was full of her subordinates and disciples. There were only two people with the same strength as her who listened to the instructions but not the announcement.
If something happens to her, Ning Yuecheng will be equivalent to falling down a level and not far from being in ruins.
"Open the treasury quickly, we don't have enough cash to support the supplies! Block the news and don't let others know about this!" The chief manager stamped his feet with hatred. If this matter spread, it would be a complete scandal. Not only the city lord would be unable to hold his head up, but also the whole city.
People can't even lift their heads.
There are many city-states in the Liujie Realm. One city is a small country. No matter what is going on inside, face is always important. Otherwise, how will you face your neighbors, how will you face the merchants who have settled in the city? How will your family welcome the monks who are passing by?
No matter whether it was a person's treasure taken away or captured, it must not be spread.
While they were preparing the ransom, they were angry. A confidant general said angrily, "Are we going to obediently deliver the things on time? I will invite two people to pay tribute, find this person's hiding place, and catch them all!"
"Exactly, isn't she going to trade in Nanling? We can secretly ambush her... and kill the city lord after we take him back."
The chief manager also couldn't swallow this breath, "Be optimistic about the city lord's fate card, let the two priests pretend to be ordinary monks to trade, and then lead a thousand people to hide near Nanling and wait for orders, and act according to the opportunity."
The news about the Shen family was not kept tight. Not only the worshiping elders with a foreign surname knew about this, but thousands of members of the whole family knew that their ancestor had been captured alive, and there was a big fuss.
Shen Rong himself only had one biological child. He knew that it would be difficult to have children after he reached a high level of cultivation, so he gave birth to his biological son when he was young, and then let his grandchildren in their teens and twenties continue to have children, which took three hundred years.
He raised a big family with a population of several thousand, and thousands of people who were connected by blood were very united under his upbringing.
The only bad thing is that Shen Rong was caught... His own son died, and no one in the Shen family could make the decision. Only his thirty or so grandchildren gathered together to discuss things and their ancestors.
The consequences of the accident were discussed, and the extravagant hopes of the family were discussed, but there was no discussion on whether to pay a ransom.
"How do we know where the ancestor's private treasury is? The public treasury needs the ancestor's seal to receive money."
"The keeper of the treasury only recognizes the ancestor, and will not give the spirit stone without a seal. Originally, my father also had a secondary seal, but it is a pity that my father is gone and the ancestor has not chosen a new heir."
Shen Bao is the grandson of Shen's family. He has been with his father and ancestors for many years. He knows that his ancestors intend to build a city in the near future and bring the family to a new stage. However, at this juncture, his father died. There is no point in building this city because there is no one to inherit it.
.
He may just be an ordinary person in this life. Although his ancestor and father seem to rely on him, they will not consider him as the heir. Now that his ancestor and father have gone, he has become the most powerful among the descendants of the family, and he has won over his surname.
To worship, and he also has a highly talented granddaughter, he might be able to compete for the position of the head of the family.
However, he gave up this idea after a few breaths. If the ancestor was not dead and was released, everything would be in vain. It was better to find a way to raise money to rescue the ancestor and make a contribution. Even if he could not get the position, he could still bring him back.
The granddaughter pushed up.
Shen Bao, carrying the majesty of the eldest grandson of the eldest son, shouted loudly, shaking the scene, "Today the public treasury must be broken open even if it is not opened. Things are dead, but people are alive. We must exchange for our ancestors at all costs!"
The head of the Hang family on the other side snorted angrily, "You still have the nerve to be saved. I have already warned you not to mess with those outside who have orders. Why don't you obey!"
"Five million is our family's income for most of the year. Besides, the treasury doesn't have much money. If this is taken out, how will the gaps in other places be filled?"
"Does the whole Hang family have to pay for this money, or does he have to pay for it himself?"
"How can he show it? If you ask me, he is already at fault. Let's just use this to expel the family."
"In that case, our Hang family only has three half-step magical powers. How can we give up on him and ask the head of the family to redeem him."
"Master, Hujiacheng just sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Elder Hang Hu."
"We have no contact with Hujiacheng. Why are they asking this?"
"It seems that someone saw City Lord Hu Hai watching the battle with Elder Hang Hu, but he disappeared later."
"If Hu Hai hadn't covered that place with fog, how could we not have been able to trace their whereabouts? In the current passive situation, we still have the nerve to ask us! I even wonder if Hu Hai collaborated with others to kidnap Hang
Tiger, prepare to destroy our Hang family."
"This person is very difficult to deal with."
"Deal with the bullshit. Let's get Hang Hu back. She'll give him one day."
Ping'an City Inn
Zhan Changfeng and Wu Feiyu had come out of the deep mountains and forests a long time ago, and were now nesting in their rooms, ready to leave through the secret teleportation array in the Holy Land.
Zhan Changfeng used Qianliu Technique to see the movements of the three families, and he was very moved when he saw it, "Such a city and family are vulnerable even if they become a nation."
"..." Wu Feiyu didn't want to guess where she came from. It was boring.
"Isn't the city and the family like this? If there are more experts, the inheritance system is perfect, or this situation can be avoided."
Zhan Changfeng glanced at her and was relieved, "The sister -in -law can teach."
Wu Feiyu reflected it and decided to talk to her less. She was almost taken by her. She didn't think about those curved roads. "What should I do?"
"There is a magical power of the Hu family, which will be a bit troublesome when a shock, just seal Hu Hai for hundreds of years."
Wu Feiyu thought that Hu Hai was seriously injured and would die within a few days. "It depends on his luck."
The savior of Ningyue City was eager. After raising the ransom, he asked the two priests to rush to the agreed place on time, and a thousand men from the secret sect were behind to support him.
The two worshipers went deep into the forest and carefully observed their surroundings, not missing any oddity with their spiritual consciousness.
"There's no one around. Could it be that they were hidden using special means?"
"I always feel that we should remove the people behind us...if we are discovered, why don't we push our city lord into a pit of fire?"
"Shhh, let's do whatever they decide. We are outsiders anyway and just follow orders."
"Is this here?"
The two found a tree with a bird's nest, and a common bird with flaming red feathers stood on it.
They looked around, worriedly put the storage bag containing the ransom money into the bird's nest, and left quickly.
When they arrived outside, they met with a thousand men and horses to follow the ransom money closely.
"The bird took the ransom money away, do you want to continue chasing it?"
"Why are you chasing me? The city lord hasn't shown up yet."
The group of people remained motionless, but their spiritual consciousness quietly followed the bird. Suddenly it passed through a cloud, and their spiritual consciousness seemed to be blocked by something, and no trace of the bird could be found.
Suddenly a bird flew to their hiding place, and in their surprised eyes, dropped a piece of paper with the coordinates on it.
The monks in Ning Yuecheng broke out in cold sweat, who knew they were here?!
"Will the city lord have been..."
"Don't say depressing words!"
They braved the courage and rushed to the location of the coordinates. After searching around to no avail, they dug a hole at the location of the coordinates. Finally, they dug out a seemingly ordinary sarcophagus. They worked hard to break the seal and rescued Cheng Ningyue inside.
